"Enter to Learn; Depart to Serve"
After Mrs. Hission gave us this picture of her second grade
class of 1955, we began to remember many past experiences.
Since then our ladder of education has brought about many changes.
Our class has lost students, as well as gained them. In our fresh¬
man year, our enrollment rose to 60 when the Christian School
graduates entered high school. By the time we had reached our
Senior year, it had depreciated to 54. Over the years some of
us have had to make great decisions, but not as great as the ones
to come. Many of us have given extreme thought to our future
and how we may serve some purpose.
HONOR STUDENTS
Left to Right; Gloria Peterson, Louella Anderson, Mirriam Moolenaar, Pat Marsh, Bob Punter, Craig Zeek, Nancy
Kooy, Shirley Boer, Gail Raguse, Cheryl Zeek.
METHOD USED IN SELECTING STUDENTS
The honor students are those who have the highest grade point
standing in the senior class. The points are figured on all grades
each student earns beginning with the freshman year and ending
with the first semester of the senior year. From this group the
valedictorian and salutatorian honors will be figured at the end of
the senior year.
Administration
As the graduating seniors of 1965, we will be
the last class attending DeMotte High School until
our senior year with an advisory board. With the
school consolidation taking effect, the school will
be governed by a school board with representatives
chosen from the districts.
The present trustee is Mr. Boissy. The mem¬
bers of his advisory board are Mr. DeYoung, Mr.
Boezeman, and Mr. Kaluf.

This year’s council has a membership of 27 over last year's 24--this change was brought about by the amend¬
ment to the constitution to include the presidents of our three major clubs. Executive council meetings con¬
sisting of the officers and sponsor, Mrs. Fritch, are held before each meeting to plan the agenda.
The Assembly programs selected by the council proved to be most enjoyable. These programs included James
Perkins and His World of Magic, Charles King’s Music in the Air, Kenneth Goodman and His Presentation of
Organ Music, and Demetrie Wilson's Trained Seals. An initiation week was held for all newly elected coun¬
cil members. This was climaxed by a weiner roast and party in the cafeteria. Short skits were presented at
the November PTA meeting. The Christmas party, always an annual event, was well received by both students
and faculty. The highlights of this program were a guest pianist, Mrs. Trudy Stephenson, who accompanied
Christmas carol singing by the student body, and a rendition of several seasonal numbers by the band along
with a presentation of blazer jackets to 4-year band members by the director, Mr. Brandt. Members purchased
student council pins and blue sweatshirts lettered in white displaying a gavel. These sweatshirts were sold to
the student body in various colors and lettering as a fund-raising project. Two paper dispensing machines
helped to increase the funds along with a work day of picking up corn. An anti-litterbug week was sponsored
by the council in February and long hours of planning went into making Twirp Week anathe dance a success.
At least two students will be attending the Student Council Workshop at I. U. this summer along with their
sponsor, who will serve as a counselor. It has been a year of work, fun, and most of all one of rewarding
achievement for the CounciL

CLASS PROPHECY
Disaster struck in the year 1980. Craig Zeck, who was referred to as
the newest A1 Capone, lost two of his important mob members. Nancy
Jonkmanhad been his bookkeeper. She did a wonderful job of keeping two
sets of books straight at once. Rich Vander Molen had been his trust¬
worthy hatchet-man. Both Nancy and Rich had been deported to Italy.
Thinking quickly, Craig and his moll, Mirriam Moolenaar, decidedit
would be wise to get two of their trusted high school classmates to fill the
jobs. They began the task of locating the members of the class of '65.
The easiest ones to find were those who had traveled a great deal and
who had achieved acclaim by receiving great honor s. Marg Aalberts had
been named ' Miss Universe' some years before and served as the Mistress
of Ceremonies of the Miss Universe pageant every other year. Bob Punter
had been named ' Mr. Universe' a fewyears before. Rosemary Musch had
received the title of ' Mrs. America.' Others who had become known abroad
were numerous: Bob Walstra was resculpting 'Venus' in Athens; Jim
Recker became one of the first men on the moon; and Gloria Peter son was
a missionary doctor in Africa. Zeck and Mirriam decided that these people
were too well known. They were forced to look further.
Mobster Zeckfound that many of his classmates had become involved
in political and literary career s: Nich Tillema had been appointed by the
President as head of a committee to investigate the worth of computers
and mathematical calculators, Karen Postma had become writer of an
"Advice to the Lovelorn" column in a leading San Francisco newspaper;
Jo Anne Moss was the author of the latest best seller, "How to Control
Your Emotions;" Sherry Stellingwerf' s newest publication was on the
Republican platform. Dave Peter son created a map of intricate road con¬
figurations from DeMotte to Antonid s Pizza. Karen Hanewich was presi¬
dent of a new society formed to create a 9:3 0 curfew law for the preven¬
tion of teenagers roaming the streets at night. Larry Musch was the
head of the safe drivers' association, and Bob Zwart was a noted news
commentator.
Steve Holm-Hansen, the newly elected President of the United
States, and his dear wife, Kathy (Schlarp) Holm-Hansen, were in the
process of installing spittoons in every room in the White House. Diane
Recker, secretary to the former President, had been acquitted by the
grand jury in the latest government scandal. It seemed she had been
leaking information to Andy Andree, the dictator of Cuba. These people
were also too well known.
Several of Craig's classmates were found to have unusual occupations:
Nance Bunning was president of the world's largest poster manufacturing
firm, and Mary Bennema was founder of the nationally popular Cookie
Cooking Company. Bob Bakker was bartender at Bernice's Hotel, and
Howie Swart was the head of the Alcoholics Anonymous. Sandi Hunter was
number one hostess at the Playboy Club. Nancy Kooy was the fat lady in
the Barnum and Bailey Circus, and Pat Marsh was an accomplished lady
wrestler. Shirley Boer was head coach of the Chicago Bears, and Steve
Bauman was the fullback on Shirley's team. Craig and Mirriam decided
none of the above could fill the jobs.
69
In the transportation world Craig found John Hielema racing in the
Indianapolis 500, Gary DeFries as a testdriver for Ford Motor Company,
Joe Davis as vice president of Firestone Rubber, Larry Evers in charge
of all seaports in India, TomKlimp as an elevator operator in the Empire
State Building, and Linda Vaughn and Florence Willin hitch-hiking across
the country for the third time.
Some of Craig's classmates had become actors: Ellen Belstra was
currently starring as "Bloody Mary" in the latest Broadway hit,' "South
Pacific. 11 Jeane Mak had become well known as Ellen's hair stylist. Barb
Konovsky had replaced Josephine and was the new lady plumber on T. V.
Terry Hanaway had replaced the "Little Ol'Wine Maker."
Of the remaining classmates, Mobster Zeck discovered Carol Walstra
as a stair sweeper in the Washington Monument, Pauline Richards as a
psychiatrist needing psychiatric care worse than her patients, Louella
Anderson as a 'Rockette, and Scherita Nees as a French professor at
UCLA.
Ron Bozell had designed a theater in which Phil Moolenaar and his
band had just been granted the title of "Most Popular Band in the Country."
No one seemed to be able to fill the jobs, but Craig and Mirriam went
on with their task. Gloria Schriner was an interior decorator working
with Macy's department store, and Lois Bosma was a model in New York
City. Gail Raguse was still in college trying to get her MRS degree.
Cheryl Zeck was a spinster. She was head of an all girls school, teach¬
ing a course in the evils of marriage. Helen Barker was discovered as
a maid in the White House. Charlene Groet owned the largest trucking
firm in the U. S. and was busy competing with the second largest firm,
"The Abbring Agency." There were talks of consolidation.
After carefully searching their entire high school class, Craig and
Mirriam were unable to find anyone to fill the vacant jobs. Disgusted,
Craig wondered if crime actually pays.

TEMPER
When I have lost my temper I have lost my reason too,
I'm never proud of anything which angrily I do.
When I have talked in anger and my cheeks were flaming red
I have always uttered something which I wish I had not said.
In anger I have never done a kindly deed or wise,
But many things for which I felt I should apologize.
In looking back across my life and all I've lost or made,
I can't recall a single time when fury ever paid.
So I struggle to be patient, for I've reached a wiser age,
I do not want to do a thing or speak a word in rage.
I have learned by sad experience that when my temper flies,
I never do a worthy deed, a decent deed, or wise.
